Jetboil Helios Guide Cooking System
Whether you need to boil water on a solo trip or cook a backcountry meal for you and your four hiking partners, just bring along the Jetboil Helios Guide Cooking System. This unique stove uses liquid fuel to squeeze every last bit of efficiency from the system and provide three-minute boil times for a liter of water. Jetboil includes two- and three-liter pots with the Helios Guide Cooking System, so you have all the cookware you need to get everyone hydrated and put some food in their empty stomachs. Snap on the included windscreen use the Helios in gusts up to 10+ miles an hour. Jetboil also added a lid that doubles as a plate and triples as a Frisbee for a little after-dinner base camp game.
Bottom Line: Cook for the entire group.
Talk shop with all the gear freaks out there: ask 'em questions, upload/browse photos, and give your 2¢.

Best stove I have ever come across. It boils a liter of water in less than 3 minutes at 11,000 feet as stated! The adjustable flame setting was worth the upgrade to the Helios Guide. Only con to this stove is that it is not meant for long cooking times so gourmet chefs beware. I could not cook with it longer than 25-30 min before the fuel pre-heat loop would overheat and stop fuel flow so long simmer foods and trying to cook a zillion pancakes are not a real option. It did allow me to simmer long enough for the best beef enchilada dinner I ever had for me and my teenage army of three. The two pot system came in real handy too. I would recommend this stove and I am glad I bought it.
Change me.
